Core Viewpoint - A class action lawsuit has been filed against Klarna Group plc on behalf of shareholders who purchased its securities during the September 2025 IPO, alleging securities fraud due to misleading statements and failure to disclose material adverse facts about the company's financial health and risk profile [1][4]. Group 1: IPO and Financial Performance - Klarna conducted its IPO on September 10, 2025, selling 34.3 million shares at $40 per share [3]. - Following the release of its third quarter 2025 financial results on November 18, 2025, Klarna reported a 39% increase in its provision for credit losses, attributed to changes in market and product mix, particularly an increased share of the U.S. market in its Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) [3]. - The stock price of Klarna fell by $3.25, or 9.3%, closing at $31.63 per share on the same day the financial results were announced, indicating a negative impact on investors [3]. Group 2: Allegations in the Lawsuit - The lawsuit alleges that the defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose significant risks regarding the company's business and operations [4]. - Specifically, it is claimed that the defendants understated the risk of a significant increase in loss reserves shortly after the IPO, which they either knew or should have known, given the risk profile of individuals taking Klarna's buy now, pay later (BNPL) loans [4]. - As a result, the positive statements made by the defendants about the company's business and prospects were deemed materially misleading and lacked a reasonable basis [4].
